Over time as we practice,
routine sets in.
praying, and other things
become a shell without a core.
And there’s also the struggle
for concentration
With self encouragment
I focus on the meaning
and picture what the prayer
is talking about.
With the morning prayer,
I imagine Hashem providing us
with what we need
like clothing and so on.
With effort,
feeling that connection to Above
as I say the words from my heart
like in Birkas hamazon,
racheim na, u’vney…
It happens sometimes that I
just say straight through.
But then I try to encourage myself
to say it with feeling.
very nice….
meaningful
I’m impressed that you didn’t feel the need to twist the words around to make a rhyme…
The title of this thread reminds me of the old song by Reb Shlomo ZTL,
L-rd Get Me High:
L-rd get me high, get me high, get me higher,
L-rd get me high, get me higher.
L-rd get me high, get me high, get me higher,
L-rd get me high, get me higher.
Higher and higher, higher and higher,
L-rd get me higher and higher.
and for that there’s the easy way, and the hard way. Or should I say, the hard way and the difficult way. So many double meanings.
